SARS Office Kimberley

The SARS Kimberley branch serves the Northern Cape — South Africa's largest province by area. Its taxpayer base is diverse: diamond and mining industry workers, commercial farmers and agri-processors, government employees, and individual taxpayers from Kimberley, Upington, De Aar, Springbok, and surrounding Northern Cape towns. Because of the province's vast geography, planning your visit carefully and using remote SARS channels where possible is especially important. This guide covers appointments, document requirements per service, and how to resolve common tax issues.

Office Details

  • Monday to Friday: 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM

How to Book an Appointment

  1. Via eFiling: Log in at www.sarsefiling.co.za and navigate to "Book Appointment."
  2. Via the SARS call centre: Call 0800 00 7277 and request a Kimberley branch appointment.

Given the long distances in the Northern Cape, resolving queries via eFiling or the call centre first is especially worthwhile before making a branch trip.

eFiling vs Branch Visit

Use eFiling first for:

  • Uploading verification documents
  • Requesting statements of account
  • New tax registrations (income tax, VAT, PAYE)
  • TCS pin requests

Northern Cape specific: Given the distances involved across the province, SARS eFiling and the 0800 00 7277 call centre can resolve most status queries and routine submissions without a trip to Kimberley. Always try these channels before traveling.

Come to the branch when:

  • Identity or eFiling profile issues need in-person resolution
  • SARS has issued a verification requiring original documents
  • A formal audit or objection needs face-to-face discussion
  • A payment arrangement requires in-person documentation

Visit Timing Tips

Best time: Tuesday to Thursday, 09:00–11:00 AM.

Avoid: Mondays, Fridays, month-end, and July–October. Mining sector annual returns and agricultural year-end cycles can create additional demand in the Northern Cape outside of the standard peaks.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

Refund not received after assessment

Confirm banking details on eFiling. If unverified or incorrect, visit with ID and bank confirmation to update.

eFiling account locked

Visit the Kimberley branch with original ID. Identity flags are cleared in person.

Outstanding return after filing

Wait 48–72 hours. If still showing outstanding after a week, bring submission confirmation to the branch.

Mining royalty or mineral rights query

Bring your full mining lease, royalty return, and company documentation. SARS Kimberley regularly handles Northern Cape mining sector tax queries.

No eFiling access in a remote area

Call 0800 00 7277 for telephonic assistance with submissions and status checks. The SARS call centre can process many queries that would otherwise require a branch visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm in Upington and can't travel to Kimberley. What can I do?
